"Buyers should look for an "X" as the last letter in a G.Skill memory kit to know that it’s been validated to work on AMD’s desktop platforms."

I'm now leaning towards the -3400 Sniper X, simply for the slightly faster timings than the Trident Z RGB -3600...

But has anyone done any actual system builds yet with these with 2600X/2700X?
Also are these b-dies or Hynix chips? There is some confusion about this

I'm waiting for MB with x470 chipset just because of memory compatibility at higher frequency. 2600 -2700x supposedly have better IMC so my Kingston HyperX KHX3600C17D4/8GX (which is b-die) can potentially work up to it's top speed. Right now 3200MHz is fastest stable frequency. Unless that "X" has XMP profile to match DOCP, I doubt it would be of great help. It may be function of AGESA code or BIOS but DOCP is not following XMP properly. Very often manual memory settings will work much better than DOCP.
